PUBLIC PUPILS.
What They Have Done Among
the Three "R's.o
A Handsome Exhibit of Which
Parent and Teacher and
Scholar May Be
Proud.

The exhibit OF the work of the
public scholars is fairly under way to-
day and the visitors havo been num-
erous. The store-room recently oc-
cupied by Fleischman, as a drug
store, at the corner of Second and
Ohio, has been handsomely arranged,
floral decorations are in abundance
and the walls are embellished with
steel engravings, paintings and
photographs, to relieve the effect,
otherwise made by the specimens of the
pupils handiwork, which are plentiful
Part of the store adjoining has been
converted into a beautiful bower for
the Prospect school display. The
floral decorations are the contribution
of jenkins, and the piano is loaned by
the firm of Dean Il Gochner, of East
Third street. In the rear of the
room, opposite the main entrance, is
an attractive grotto, made by Messrs.
Hunike and Schlegel, in honor of the
Summit school, of which they are
great friends, and thanking this on one
side is handsome gilt and Jet
column, somewhat in the Doric style,
and on the other a satin banner, with
Ornamented fringe, presented by Mr..
Hunike to room 4, Miss Alice Hocka-
day, teacher, for excellence in SPELL
ing.
On the south wall are
large photographs of the three
presidents of the school board,
precedent of Mr.. Daily. They are
Messrs. Suess, Blocher, and Ingram.
The high and Broadway schools ex-
hibit on the left of the entrance, and
in the center. The display comprises
crayon and pencil drawings, maps, ex-
plantations in botanical fields. regular
examinations in history, civil govern
ment, astronomy and so forth. Conspic-
uous among the crayons is sketch of
DIR. Richardson, by Stella Montgom-
cry, of the eighth grade. Among the
maps, all of which have specimens of
the products of the country or the
state represented, accompanying
them, may be mentioned the works Of
Shirley Chapman, Lizzie Kennedy Liz
zie Hill, Lulu Hahn, Willie Weseloh,
and Harry Walker. Another exhibit
in this collection of specimens, and
one of which Mr.. Holloway is proud,
is the record of the Broadway school,
which shows that In nine months, out
of 779 enrolled, only 1877 were tardy.
A little table adjoining the Bread
way exhibit, holds the admirable work
of pupils in the first and second grades
in spelling, penmanship, etc.
The Lincoln school has the north
wall near the window, and the display
is a most excellent one handsomely
The Summit school has the east end
of the room, and its eight grades, from
the kindergarten display clear around
the apartment to where the suburban
schools take space, show up very
handsomely. Want of time prevents
going into more detail in regard to
any of the schools just now.
The Northeast, Southeast and South
Sedalia schools have tasty and COM
plete display, and adjoining them is
that of the Franklin, with its seven
grades. In this school the drawings
of Albert Gyseler, boy of II, whose
right hand is deficient of most of his
fingers are noticeable, and also the
work of Philip Conrath. These boys
belong to room 4.
Prospect school has a coy alcove,
and the specimens of work attract
much attention. Detailed mention
will be made of the features in the ex-
1ibit, as the days go by. The display
8 worthy of being seen by every
body.
